Although former New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick has been adamant that his focus remains on UNC moving forward, multiple NFL teams are reportedly still pursuing Belichick for the 2026 NFL season.

NFL insider Josina Anderson revealed on Tuesday that at least two NFL teams — and possibly a third — are interested in speaking with Belichick about vacancies.

Anderson did not reveal which teams are interested in Belichick, but it’s worth nothing that only two NFL franchises have fired their head coach this season: the New York Giants and Tennessee Titans.

That doesn’t rule out other teams that...

We might be just a few weeks away from hats and t-shirts being passed around the Patriots locker room.

New England is on the verge of clinching its first AFC East title since 2019. The Buffalo Bills won the last five division crowns, but the 10-2 Patriots currently sit atop the AFC East standings with six weeks left on the schedule.

So, how soon could the Patriots clinch the division?

Their path is relatively straightforward, and we’ll break it all down in a moment. But first, let’s look at the remaining schedules for New England and Buffalo.

**Patriots (10-2, first...

The New England Patriots suffered multiple injuries during their win over the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday, and as a consequence had to make several adjustments on the fly.

The most notable happened along the offensive line, where both left tackle Will Campbell and left guard Jared Wilson were unable to finish the game. The former went down in the third quarter with what was later diagnosed as a sprained MCL, while the latter lasted only three snaps before suffering a high ankle sprain.

With them out, Vederian Lowe and Ben Brown were pushed into action. The former replaced Campbell for...

Expectations were high for Drake Maye and the New England Patriots offense as they traveled out to Cincinnati to face off against a historically bad Bengals defense that ranked 32nd in DVOA and EPA per play.

While Maye ended the day with a career-high 294 passing yards, it wasn’t always pretty getting there.

New England’s QB looked off to start the day and struggled with a handful of accuracy issues — his worst coming on a sailed pass over the middle of the field that resulted in his first career pick-six.

Through the mistakes, Maye still made his usual high-level...

The New England Patriots were bitten by the injury bug during Sunday’s win over the Cincinnati Bengals.

Early reports on the injuries to rookies Will Campbell and Jared Wilson indicate they are not expected to be season-ending. However, each will most likely miss some time in the near future.

There are holes in the left side of the offensive line, and, if Sunday was any indicator, they will be filled by former starters Vederian Lowe and Ben Brown.

Lowe made 13 starts at left tackle last season on what was one of the league’s worst units. He took over the...

The New England Patriots’ win over the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 12 was a costly one. Several players went down injured during the 26-20 game, with four of them unable to finish the contest — including a pair of starters along the offensive line.

Let’s assess the damage after rewatching the game.

Patriots injury analysis: Week 12

LG Jared Wilson: The Patriots’ left guard remained down after a 3rd-and-1 conversion by TreVeyon Henderson on the third offensive snap of the day. He walked off under own power but with a noticeable limp, and after a brief stay in the...

The New England Patriots did not play their best football against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 12, but at the end o f the day still emerged victoriously. As a result of their 26-20 win, they are now the first team in the NFL to 10 wins as well as the sole owner of the top spot in AFC.

While that second honor comes courtesy of the Denver Broncos having their bye, the Patriots continuing to win is starting to put pressure on their competition. Denver is now a half-game behind New England, which will be on its own bye...

Former New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones has been enjoying a solid season as the backup for the San Francisco 49ers, with Brock Purdy dealing with a toe injury.

Jones has appeared in nine games, starting eight, throwing for 2,151 yards and 13 touchdowns.

The 49ers signed Jones to a two-year, $8.4 million contract this offseason, and with one season remaining, San Francisco could put Jones up for a trade.

In a recent USA Today article, Jacob Camenker highlighted potential teams that could trade for Jones, including the Miami Dolphins.

“The Dolphins can’t move off Tua Tagovailoa’s contract without eating...

It may not have been pretty, but the New England Patriots were able to keep their win streak alive against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday. Thanks to their 26-20 win, they are now 10-2 and the current No. 1 seed in the AFC.

The other 13 games played this weekend also are worth keeping an eye on, though. So, here is who you should be rooting for in the non-Patriots matchups between on Thursday, Sunday and Monday.

Carolina Panthers (6-5) at San Francisco 49ers (7-4): Go Panthers! Once again, strength of victory is the...

New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye appears to have it all. He can beat you with his legs, and from a passing standpoint, he is both accurate and a deep threat. Another element of Maye’s passing game recently highlighted by Patriots wideout Stefon Diggs is Maye’s phenomenal touch.

Diggs told the media that he was able to play through a broken finger because Maye delivers the football with a soft touch. Indeed, the Patriots quarterback never seems to put more zip on the ball than is needed, which might make his passes more catchable and receiver-friendly.

Well, Maye’s feathery touch...

Ameer Speed hasn’t played in an NFL game in 11 months but now has a chance to make an impact with an AFC playoff contender.

The Houston Texans signed the former New England Patriots cornerback to their practice squad on Monday, as reported by KPRC 2 Houston’s Aaron Wilson.

“#Texans sign former #Patriots #Colts corner Ameer Speed (6-3, 215) to practice squad after successful workout that included four other players,” Wilson posted on X.

The Patriots selected Speed in the sixth round of the 2023 NFL Draft and he played in five games with the team before being released in...

The New England Patriots may have finalized a 53-man roster out of training camp, but that team was not set in stone. By Week 1, there had already been several moves — a trend that only continued since and will do so through the rest of the season.

In order to stay on top of all the news and movement, here is our up-to-date breakdown of the the Patriots’ roster, practice squad and injury lists for this season.

Patriots updated roster: 53 players
